AN ALTERNATIVE VIEW OF REALITY Divine Times describes the somewhat peculiar way in which a family of Sri Sathya Sai Baba's devotees live.From the very beginning of their relationship with the Great Avatar these people have been receiving messages by way of dreams, visitations and primarily meditations.Each devotee has his or her personal way of relating to the Being that millions of people in the world have accepted as the Highest Divine Incarnation to have descended to the density of the third dimension. This is their way.Life in the countryside has been full of challenges but having been isolated from society for so long has given them the opportunity to cultivate the contemplation of the Self and to practice silence as a way of life, all along applying the teachings received directly from the Great Avatar and from other Light Beings that have visited them over the years.In this book you will also find some propagating and cultivating techniques that they have used to grow most of their food in the harsh and semi-desertic Australian environment in which they live.The main objective of the book is to reveal an alternative reality, a different way of living a spiritual life to which more and more people are awakening; they put spirituality into practice, which is one of the simplest ways to return to Divinity, that which is our ultimate goal.

Víctor Daniel "VïDâ" González Díaz was born in 1957 in Montevideo, where he completed his primary education and soon after moved to Buenos Aires, at the age of twelve, where he worked as an apprentice with his stepfather, a builder of some repute.Meanwhile, he developed his skills as an artist, working part-time to improve his technique as a painter, a printer and an illustrator in different workshops throughout Buenos Aires, and meeting along the way some of his professional "heroes", like Aida Carballo and Daniel Bonello.In 1972, he met Cristina Corbalán, the person who would become his wife and with whom he would spend the rest of his life.In 1986, the newlyweds moved permanently to Australia and begun a life in the city of Melbourne, where they had two children, Nicolás in 1991 and Mercedes in 1994.Early on in their new country they adopted an organic way of life which, when combined with Yoga and Meditation, would allow them to, eventually, meet Sri Sathya Sai Baba, from whom Daniel has received numerous messages during long hours of meditation.Later on, Sathya Sai Baba named him "VïDâ", by combining the first two letters of Daniel's first and middle names. Vida means Life, in Spanish.It was also during meditation that Sai Baba "took" VïDâ to many dimensions and realities in which he witnessed many of the images presented on this book.
